Prank call leads to strip searches

This article highlights how obedient people really are. It has been wondered with many Psychological studies on obedience and conformity whether the high levels of both would exist in a true-life situation. Guess this answers that question. I will warn in advance that this is perhaps not the nicest example of obedience and I apologise if it offends any readers.

As much as it may be a rare 'prank', it is something that people should be aware of. You may not ever be put in a situation quite like this one, but it makes sense to always be mindful of what true authority or knowledge people may have. Question everything.

Wow. If a manager said that to me: "Hey, I know you make less money than, well, everyone but the unemployed, but now were going to strip search you too." -they'd be able to arrest me for assault. Sheeple.

You hear about this kind of thing all the time. What I find disturbing is this: For the the last 35 years or so, the whole "non-conformity" idea has been forged into almost every generation that has come up since the late 60's--Hippies, Punks, New-wavers with blue hair, Metalheads, Neo-punks, Hip-Hoppers, etc. BUT--as the years go by, it seems that more and more, everyone becomes more sheep like. Doing what they are told because it's become easier to let someone else do your thinking for you. Pure mental laziness.

It's not just that people are sheep like..they just don't think. Few years back, I was in Winchester, England, with some friends. Just for the hell of it, we started asking people on the street where is the British (??!!!) Embassy. Everyone was very kind, and pointed us in all sorts of directions...
